In the product group of liquid cargoes, the throughput decreased by 19 percent, mainly due to the reduced retailing of petroleum products and a sharp decrease of air traffic.

8.2.5 Dry and bulk cargoes

In January – June 2020, the maritime throughput of dry and bulk cargoes decreased by 26 percent in comparison with the same period in 2019. Luka Koper Group recorded the decrease in the throughput of the thermal coal of which consumption has been decreasing in accordance with the EU legislation which provides for complete decarbonisation in the coming years. Besides that, high environmental taxes on CO2 emissions which further makes difficult the consumption and the competitivity in this energy segment.

The maritime throughput in the product group of dry bulk cargoes was lower by 2 than in the preceding year, the main reason was a mild winter and thereby minor consumption of road salt and lower allumina throughput.

9 Non-financial investments

In January – June 2020, Luka Koper Group allocated EUR 16.3 million24 for the investments in the property, plant and equipment, property investments and intangible assets, which was 24 percent ahead on the comparable period in 2019.

10 Risk management

10.1 Explanatory note to the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2(COVID-19) outbreak

COVID-19 outbreak affected the economy and logistics flowsOn 12 March, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia declared the epidemic. Currently, Luka Koper will endeavour to minimize the consequences of the materialisation of the global pandemic risk. At COVID-190 outbreak, Luka Koper Group firstly adopted measures for the protection of persons. The Port of Koper is the facility of a special importance for defence and the economy of the Republic of Slovenia and has status of critical infrastructure facility. Luka Koper, d. d., as concessionaire in the Port of Koper, drawn up crisis response plan, this including also the pandemic. Prior to the first case of infection with the coronavirus in Slovenia, Luka Koper, d. d., set up a work group which adopts measures for preventing the spread of infection The Company also adopted a protocol on informing and taking actions in case of the suspected ingfection offshore and onshore which was harmonised with the National Institute of Public Health and all government bodies excercising their powers in the port's zone. Besides these measures, Luka Koper, d.d. adopted several additional measures among which also: adjustment of working hours in operations and other processes with aim to reduce a direct contact among the employees, organisation of work with emphasis on remote work and implementation of remote meetings as well as reinforced self-protective and hygiene measures. Also the Port's section of Civil Protection was involved in the control over the implementation of preventive measures and set up Civil protection committee , which controls whether measures are respected and provides additional desinfection in the Port. The adopted measures and activities are updated and communicated to internal and external public, business partners and all interested stakeholdersThe fear of consequences of coronavirus and endeavours to prevent its expansion will have an impact also on supply chains and logistics flows and consequently Luka Koper, d.d., where the conseuqnces could be reflected in a reduced volume of throughput and increased volume of goods in warehouses. Depending on developments, due to a potential global economic recession and new waves of epidemic, the coronavirus COVID-19 epidemic will have a negative impact on the performance of the Luka Koper Group. It is difficult to predict to which extent because of a great uncertainty associated with the virus itself and the capability to control it.

10.2 Other risks

As regards commercial risks, the economic slowdown, projections of a decline of the growth of markets and other risks in the international environment will further present a risk for a lower throughput and consequently the deviation of the revenue from sale. Among commercial, also risks related to the development of competitive ports and entering of larger shiping companies in the ownership of neighbouring ports (Trieste, Rijeka, Pireus) likely resulting in the shift of a part of throughput to other routes, have been increasing. Besides that, the neighbouring ports pay a lot of attention to the enhnacement of the competitivity in railway transport. A relevant risk is also the enhancement of Northern Adriatic ports, which are the competition in important hinterland markets. Said risks are managed with marketing activities directed in the of existing and acquisition of new businesses, and applying particular warehousing terms for cargo, facing unfavourable (emergency)situation in the market.

Other two strategic risks resulting from the external environment, remain the uncertainty about the timely manner construction of the second railway track and obsolete, insufficient capacities of the existing railway line, thus undermining further growth of throughput also until the construction of the second railway track of the existing railway line. In 2019, a project group, which started to implement the activities aimed to improve IT support, implementation of infrastructure interventions and organisational changes, was set up. In 2020, the activities related to the coordination of needs in railway infrastructure will continue. In the third quarter of 2020, the railway tunnel Karavanke is intended to be closed. Due to planned works and closure of the tunnel Karavanke the cusomers might redirect their logistic through other ports, mainly through Northen European ports, mostly at risk is the cargo group of vehicles. Have only a limited impact on this fact, the rsk may be managed with operational coordination and notifications during the closure of the railway tunnel Karavanke.

The risk management activities relating to the implementation of key investment projects, continue. In the first stage which will last until the end of March 2021, the operational quay will be constructed within the extension of the Pier I. Works will continue with the construction of storage areas for containers and are projected to be completed one year later. The investment concerning the extension of the Pier I comprises the construction of the operational quay of lenghth 98.5 m and width 34.4 m and the construction of rear storage areas on the southern side of the Pier measuring 24,830 m2. The construction of a new ro-ro berth, garage house with capacity of 6,000 vehicles and tracks group VI as well as the construction of the third truck entrance in the in Port in Bertoki will be completed for the needs of the Car terminal. These investments will increase capacities of storage and berths and improve the internal logistics in the transhipment of cars.

As of 16 January 2020, a new business model of the implementaion of port's services, entered into force, whereby compliance risk for future period. The risk of exeeding the noise thresholds towards Koper old town may be generated generated during driving the piles within the extension of the Pier I or due to excesssive noise produced when carrying out the activity. Luka Koper Group has already adopted measures which will take into consideration already at the design stage and further on at the selection of the construction works contractor will take into consideration imposing limits of noise at acceptable leve. The Group manages the other risks relating to excessive noise with a gradual switchover to technological equipment with electrical supply and cooperates also in the Neptunes project, in the framework of which solutions for the reduction of ship-generated noise, are sought .

Among the financial risks we recognise risk relating to change in fair value, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, currency and credit risk and risk relating to adequate capital structure. An increase of interest rates is not expected in 2020, according to recent projections EURIBOR should remain negative over a longer period. In the coming period, we will closely monitor the liquidity of container shipping companies and other relevant partners. Financial risks are treatzed in detail in the chapter Financial instruments and financial risk management.

Luka Koper INPO, d. o. o. hold four agency workers..

In the first half of 2020, 13 recruitments were realised in Luka Koper Group, whereof 9 in Luka Koper d. d., which is essentially lower number than in the comparable period last year, when the intensive recruitment was done for the basic transhipment and storage process as a result of the changed business model resp. the process of the implementation of the strategy of providers of port's services. In 2020, Luka Koper, d .d., will pay attention on the optimisation of business processes. In the first half of 2020, In accordance with the needs of work, mainly conversions of the employment relationship from the fixed-term employment relationship into indefinite-term employment for regularly employed staff were realised, and in accordance to the action plan of the implementation of the strategy for port service providers remaining agency workers, who are guaranteed equal rights and obligations as regularly employed staff, were carried out. Since in 2019 the contracts concluded with selected agencies for placement of workers were stipulated for the period of one year, a public tender for the selection of agencies for hiring 361 agency workers was published on May 27, 2020.

* Fluctuation caculation method = number of departures /(previous number of employees + new recruitments) x100

The number of departures from Luka Koper Group was higher in the same period last year. The reasons for termination of the employment relationship in more than a half of departures are dominated by the retirement age, to a lower extent by regular terminations of the employment relationship and consensual employment terminations, expiry of fixed-term employment contracts and in two cases, the employees' deaths. Consequently, the fluctuation in Luka Koper Group was higher than in the previous year, but stil relatively low in the industry.

Intensive recruitment for the basis transhipment and storage process in 2019 importantly afffected the educational structure of Luka Koper, d. d., and Luka Koper Group, shifting towards larger share of employees at a lower level of education. Higher number of employees at higher level of education mainly resulted from the succcessfully completed the education at work.

13.1 Occupational health and safety standard ISO 45001

In April 2020, Luka Koper, d.d. obtained the certification according to a new ISO 45001 standard.

By a variety of measures , such as education, additional training , informing of employees and other stakeholders in the Port, the company takes preventive actions. Each serious or repeated injury is examined and measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future, are taken.

TOTAL 38 35

* The recruitment agencies started to provide services in Luka Koper, d.d. in September 2019, therefore the comparison with the preceding period is not possible.

The target of maximum 15 occupational injuries per million hours worked was not achieved, since in the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded 15.8 injuries per million hours worked. With the transfer of the execution of works from the providers of port services to the Port of Koper, d. d., injuries at work also pass. The increased total number of injuries is the result of new employment and redeployment of workers to other work processes, which are still gaining an appropriate level of knowledge and experience for the proper performance of work in an individual work process.

In the first quarter of 2020, one serious injury occurred, when during the installation of lifting bands on the cargo the worker was squeezed the thumb of the right hand, and seriously injured, and therefore the target 0 serious occupational injuries was not achieved.

InJanuary – June 2020, 25.0 collisions per million hours worked occurred. Therefoere, the target of max 25 collisions, was not achieved. There was no significant material damage.

In the reported period less (17) preventive rounds were carried out therefore the third target for 2020 has not been achieved yet. 40 extraordinary supervisions of occupational health in the port's zone were carried out.

At the time of the coronavirus SARS -CoV-2 (COVID-19), a work group, composed of different departments, is operative and daily monitors the situation and adapts protection measures. The Civil protection, providing assistance in the implementation of measures and continuous monitoring of compliance with prescribed measures by employees and external stakeholders, was activated.

13.1 Education, training and development of employees

In the first half of 2020, Luka Koper group provided on average 6.9 hours of training per employee, 7.5 hours in Luka Koper, d. d., which is fewer hours compared to 2019. Measures for the prevention of spread of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) affected the training, since in March – May 2020, no in-house group trainings were organised, and trainings in external education/training institutions were cancelled.or postponed to automn. 91 percent of training was in-house training. 68 percent of employees in Luka Koper Group resp. 74 percent employees in Luka Koper, d. d., were involved in training.

Luka Koper Group co-financed the acquisition of a higher level of education to a good percentage of employees. by Luka Koper, d. d., has one scholarship for the academic year 2019/2020.

Luka Koper, d. d., and Adria Terminali, d. o. o., are involved in the project Competence center for HR development in logistics Logins, which will disburse grants from 50 – percent co-funding of the education and training of employees until 2022.

In the first half of 2020, the share of internal mobility of employees was minor compared to the same period of the last year, thus reulting from major organisational changes last year.

In the beginning of 2020, Luka Koper, d. d., started to implement annual intrerviews with all employees. In the selection for the best employer in the Zlata nit (Golden Thread) project, Luka Koper, d. d., was ranked among the finalists of large companies.

The dialogue with social partners takes place continuously, with Works Council,crane operator's union trade union and dockworkers trade union Slovenia OSO KS 90.

14 Natural environment

Luka Koper has always been concerned for improving the quality of life in the entire area in which the port is situated. To this end, it cooperates and cofunds the educational and research institutions, supports sport, humanitarian and cultural activities. In the development issues it takes into consideration the principles of the sustainable and responsible environment management.

The most important goals in the area of natural environment in 2020 are:

  • To successfully carry out the audit in compliance with EMAS requirements,
  • To obtain the certificate for the standard SIST ISO 50001,
  • To reduce emissions of dust at all ten port's locations to 200 mg/m2day and max 5 deviations from 120/th measurements in the course of the year
  • To keep the value of PM10 particles (the size up to 10 μm) emissions below 30 μg/m3 in the entire Port's area (in direction towards Ankaran, Koper and Bertoki),
  • To increase the percentage of separately collected waste above 91 percent,
  • To drecrease night-time noise to 48 dBA in the direction of Koper ,
  • To keep the daily-time noise level to 58 dB in front of closest buildings outside the Port's area and the night-time to 53 dB,
  • To modernise the drainage at the Dry Bulk Terminal and installation of the treatment plant at the Livestock Terminal,
  • To keep specific consumption of energy at the last year level, despite the increased throughput and enlarged storage areas and namely for motor fuel 0,23 l/t, for electric energy 1,27 kWh/t, potable water 6,4 l/t,
  • Without taking actions (inspection and internal) in environmental interventions,
  • Without pollution outside the Port's aquatorium,
  • To ensure an efficient and adequate system of the supply with water for fire extinguishing in the port's area and the provision of an adequate provision of fire-fighting for specific buildings.

14.1 EMAS certificate

In March 2020, In March 2020,m Luka Koper, d.d. successfully passed the first certification according to ISO 50001 requirements and obtained the certificate, Likewise the assessment according to EMAS regulation was succesfully implemented.

14.2 Atmosphere

Striving for a constant reduction in emissions that are produced by the performance of port activities involves many activities. The most important measures for the reduction in dusting are the introduced technology of applying paper mill sludge to the coal and iron ore disposal area. Paper mill sludge builds a solid layer that prevents drifting of dust.

14.2.1 Total dust in the port

Luka Control measurements of the total volume of dust carried by Luka Koper, d. d., yet from 2002 on ten measurement points in the Port. We have set the annual goal not to exceede 200 mg/m2day and the average of measuremenmt values fort he reported period is 100 mg/m2day. In January – March 2020, only one deviation was recorded. The law does not prescribe limit values resp. permitted deviations for such measurements.

Average value of dust deposits (mg/m2day) 101 112 90

14.2.2 Quantity of health hazardous dust particles (PM10)

Statutory prescribed measurings of fine dust particles (PM10), are carried out by an authorised organisation and are continuously measured on three points within the Port. The measurements taken in the second quarter of 2020 were below the target value 30 μg/m3 (in comparison to the first quarter of 2020 the values halved). The company has not found out the causes for extremely high values in the first quarter of 2020, since there were higher values in the whole Primorska region and not only in Koper, consequently the average values were higher in the first half of 2020. The results from two measurement devices are shown automatically every hour on the Port's web page online Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

14.2.3 Emissions of dust particles on key sources

Since the permitted values of dust particles emissions of key sources are stipulated by law, we perform measurements in the direct vicinity of dust-generating sources e.g. at loading/unloading of wagons, trucks and ships. The threshold of permitted value of emissions is 20 mg/m3 . the company has not yet performed the statutory measurements for 2020.

14.3 Waste management

Various types of waste are generated in the Port of Koper. In terms of the committment for the environment, Luka Koper,d. d., regularly provides for waste separation, recycling and waste processing. The waste separation is carried out at all terminals, by the users of the economic zone and on ships. Separately collected waste materials are delivered to external waste-processing contractors and agents, whereas organic waste is processed at the composting plant in the port. Green pruning of local inhabitans is processed into compost.

In the second quarter of 2020, the share of sorted separately collected waste was 91 percent, and thereby the set objective of 91 sorted separately collected waste was achieved. The target reached was higher by 2 percent compared to the previous year.

14.4 Noise

Noise levels are continuously monitored by devices at three peripheral points around the port, and the results are published online via the Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

In 2019, a new Decree on the threshold values of environmental noise came into force, on the basis of which Luka Koper, d.d. in 2019 obtained a new environmental permit setting the noise level. The results for thenfirst quarte are in compliance with the requirements of the environmental permit and a newly adopted Decree. Notwithstanding a ne Decree, the Company keeps set determined objectives, which were in force under the previous Decree.

14.5 Energy

Luka Luka Koper, d.d. obtained the certificate to ISO 50001:2018 standard – Energy management system for the work carried out so far in the field of energy management. The implementation of this standard jointly with systematic energy management will result in additional reduction of greenhouse emissions and other related environmental impacts and energy costs. The value of standard as efficient tool for energy management is even bigger because its compliance can be proved by the certification of an independent organisation.

14.5.1 Electricity and water consumption

Specific fuel consumption in the first half of 2020 in comparison with 2019 was higher by 2 percent. Specific electricity consumption in the first half of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is 10 percent higher due to the share of continuous electricity consumption that does not depend on the transhipment process, but is necessary for port operation (lighting for safe work, space heating and cooling…). In addition to constant electricity consumption, the increase in specific electricity consumption was influenced by the increased use of electrified Xray lifts. The advantage of using electricity to drive elevators is significantly higher machine efficiency, lower noise and virtually zero local exhaust emissions.The resaon for a higher specific water consumption in the first half of 2020, compared to 2019, is in slightly higher absolute water consumption and water loss from the distribution networks.

Table 12: Specific consumption of energy and water per handled tonne of the total throughput32

2020/2019
Consumption electric energy (kWh/t) 0.781 0.709 110
Motor fuel consumption (l/t) 0.121 0.119 102
Water consumption (l/t) 5.710 3.567 160

14.5.2 Electricity consumption

In the first half of 2020, the major consumer of the electric power in the port was the Container terminal , followed by the Reefer Terminal. Among major consumers in the port are primarily quay cranes, food stuff cold storage rooms at the Reefer teminal, conveyor belts for the transhipment of the dry bulk cargo, lighting and power supply to the reefer containers. In the first half of 2020, the company did not achieve the target value of specific energy consumption.

32 Total throughput comprises maritime throughput, stuffing/unstufing of containers and land throughput.

.

14.5.3 Motor fuel consumption

In the first half of 2020, the Container terminal consumed 62.3 percent of motor fuel of the whole Port, followedcby the General cargoes terminal with 10.5 percent. The major consumers of fuel in the Port are terminal tractors (32.5 percent), followed by warehouse cranes (18.1 percent) and forklifts (17.8 percent). In the first half of 2020 the company achieved the target value of specific consumption of the motor fuel.

14.6 Water

The company pays a great attention to the water as a vital good and for this reason numerous safety and treatment actions are implemented. Since the water is used mainly for sanitary purposes and for supply of vessels, the concern for an adequate purity of water is important. The water consumption is not directly reliant on the throughput and it is to acertain extent attributable to water leakages, and therefore it is difficult to manage. The repairs are constantly carried out in order to reduce water leakages. In the first half of 2020, the company did not achieve the target value of specific water consumption.

14.6.1 Potable water

In the first half of 2020, measurements of the quality of the potable water have not been carried out yet, measurements are mainly carried out in summer time, when the possibility of the microbiological contamination is higher. Measurements at the Cruise terminal were carried out in April 2020, the results are adequate.

14.6.2 Waste waters

In the port mainly urban waste waters are generated and to a lower extent industrial waste waters. Generated industrial waste waters are prior to the discharge adequately treated in own waste water treatment plants, urban waste waters are mainly treated in the Koper central waste treatment plant.

The authorised operator has carried out the sampling of waste waters on two interceptor sludges and the results were adequate . Other samplings at outflows from treatment plants will be carried out during the year.

14.7 Effect of lighting

The lighting in the port'area is in line with regulations and in a way that a light is not directed upwards. The lighting plan is published on Luka Koper, d.d. website.

14.8 Marine protection

Pursuant to the provisions of the Concession Agreement for the performance of port activity, management, development and regular maintenance of port's infrastructure in the Koper's cargo port area, Luka Koper, d.d. regularly takes care to prevent and remove the consequences of the sea pollution. To carry out such actvities we need special equipment, boats and skilled staff.

In exceptional events at sea Luka Koper, d. d., takes measures in compliance with the valid Protection and rescuing plan of Luka Koper, d. d., in case of industrial accidents.

In the second quarter of 2020, 13 incidents were recorded in the port's aquatorium. In all cases of pollution at sea local scale measures were taken in accordance to the activation scheme of forces and ressources for minor accident, and the consequences of pollution were successfully dealt with within the concession area. The polluters who were tracked down reimbursed the costs.

Number of recorded events in the concession area is attributable to the consistent implementation of workshops on the environmental protection, where the employees are informed about the significance of all recorded events and consequently an efficient intervention.

The results of measurings from the modern measuring station REBEKA for monitoring of the sea quality, which is installed at the entrance into the Port Basin III REBEKA are published on the website http://www.zivetispristaniscem.si/. The station continously monitors general parametres of sea water.

15 Committment to the comunity

The development of the port, and mostly the spatial expansion, shaped the landscape and activities in the Koper bay. The port's activity affects the life of loical residents, therefore the activity of Luka Koper is sustainabiliyoriented and socially responsible. Accordingly, seeking the balance between the company's interests and social and natural environment is at the forefront. An important step in this direction is the agreement concluded in 2019 with the Municipality of Koper on mitigating measures aiming to reduce the impacts of the port's activity on the environment resp. inhabitants, residing in the close vicinity of the Porti who are mostly affected by its operation. In February 2020, the Municipality of Koper published the call of proposals for the award of grants to the residents of Koper, intended for various construction works and the purchase of equipment, which will contribute to the reduction of port's impacts. From this perspective , an important project which will disburden local roads and the periphery of Koper from freight transport is also the construction of a new truck entrance i.e. Bertoki entrance.

One of goals of the Luka Koper, d.d. strategy in the field of sponsorships and donations is also the corporate social responsibility. From January till June 2020 Luka Koper allocated EUR 658 for sponsorships and donations, including the subsidy for mitigating measures.The fund Living with the Port is dedicated to local projects and associations. The funds are allocated through a tender, which was not carried out due to the coronavirus epidemic. Therefore, Luka Koper, d.d. will allocate these funds to humanitarian purposes resp. for the mitigation of consequences to persons affected by the epidemic.

Good neighbourhood relationship is based on correct and transparent communication with the community .Luka Koper Luka Koper communicates its socially responsible activities on its sustainable website Living with the port www.zivetispristaniscem.si and the corporate website www.luka-kp.si and on social network Facebook,with almost 10.000 followers. Besides that, more than 15.000 households in the Municipality of Koper and Ankaran received the annual issue of the sustainable magazine Port's knots, which presents the activities, achievements and challenges in the field of the sustainable development.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

Financial risk comprise:

    1. risk management of the change in fair value,
    1. management of interest rate,
    1. management of liquidity risk,
    1. management of currency risk
    1. management of credit risk and
    1. risk management relating to adequate capital structure.

The company's /Group's management of financial risks has been organised within the finance and accounting department, since the accounting for subsidiaries is carried out within Luka Koper d. d. . The specifics of the existing economic environment make forecasting future financial categories even more demanding and introduce into the plans a higher degree of unpredictability and, consequently, higher level of risk. The company /Group has consequently tightened the control over individual financial categories.

1. Risk management relating to change in fair value

Luka Koper, d. d.

As at 30 June 2020, Luka Koper, d.d. had invested 6.9 percent of its assets (at the end of the previous year 6.4 percent) in investments measured at fair value through the comprehensive income. The fair value risk associated with these investments is demonstrated through changes in stock market that affect the value of these assets and, consequently the potential gain on their disposal, whereas with investments in shares of other companies there is a risk for the sales value not to equal the value of the market transaction. This type of risk has been recognised with regard to investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and to investments in shares and interests.

As at 30 June 2020, the value of non-current investments at fair value amounted to EUR 40.674.610.

The sensitivity analysis of investments at fair value was based on the assumption of a 10-percent increase in the fair value of the index and accordingly such growth would result in an increase in the fair value of the market securities portfolio by EUR 4.067.461. . A 10 percent decrease in the comparable class would have the opposite effect, reducing the fair value of these investments by the same amount.

If this was the case, the amount of the difference in fair value would be recognised as either an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income within equity for investments into securities, and within profit or loss for investments into other companies.

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In recent years, the Company/Group has succeeded in achieving significantly lower accrued income in US dollars to the extent that US dollars denominated receivables are negligible, based on which the Company/Group has opted not to hedge this item.

5. Management of credit risk

Management of the risk of default on the side of the counterparty or the credit risk has gained in importance in recent years. Customer defaults are being passed on to economic entities, much like a chain reaction, which significantly reduces the assessed probability of timely inflows and increases additional costs of financing the operation. Accordingly, the Company/ the Group has accelerated collection-related activities in the past years and more consistently monitored trade receivables past due. In case of customers, regarding whom the Company/Group detects late payments and inconsistency in observing adopted business agreements, and advance payment system is set up for all ordered services with the aim of avoiding the late payments. This area is positively impacted by the specific structure of the Company's/Group's customers, who are predominantly major companies, freight forwarders and forwarding agents that have been the Company's/Group's business partners for a number of years.

Certain Company's/Group's receivables have been secured with collaterals, which are returned to the customers once all obligations have been settled or cooperation has been terminated. Investments include loans, which are secured with blank bills of exchange and other movable and immovable property.

6. Risk management relating to adequate capital structure
